Scientists invented a superconducting material that functions at both a temperature and pressure low enough for practical applications for the first time.
“With this material, the dawn of ambient superconductivity and applied technologies has arrived,” said
Hydrides created by combining rare earth metals with hydrogen, then adding nitrogen or carbon, have provided researchers with an inspiring “working recipe” for creating superconducting materials in recent years.at temperatures or pressures that are still not practical for applications.To overcome this issue, Dias looked elsewhere along the periodic table. He considered lutetium as “a good candidate to try.
has a rigid atomic structure that can be used to create a cage-like lattice within a material providing the stability for superconductivity to occur at lower pressure.Dias and his team engineered a gas mixture of 99 percent hydrogen and one percent nitrogen, placed it in a reaction chamber with a pure sample of lutetium, and let the components react for two to three days at 392 degrees Fahrenheit.
